B737 NG Systems Review uses several methods to convey essential information on the major systems of the B737 NG 700, 800 and 900 series aircraft.
In depth information through a series of info boxes that are available within each
panel study module containing expanded text information and schematics as appropriate.
Each panel module covers the system or systems associated with that panel and are
presented in the context of the B737 Flight Deck layout. Some panel modules will repeat essential information in their relationship to other panels i.e. the Flight Control
Panel and Hydraulic Panels will both present the various associated hydraulic systems
as they relate to that particular panel and in relation to the system as a whole.
A Systems General Review section presents an overview of the major aircraft systems.
All information is presented based on standard aircraft configurations with optional
equipment indicated by Option as may be installed. Limitations, as they apply, are included based on the Boeing Flight Crew Manual. Individual operators may have additional limitations which are outside the scope of information contained in the program.
The program does not include any operating parameters, except as necessary within
the context of systems descriptions and are derived from information contained in the
Boeing Flight Crew Manual.
The B737 NG Systems Review study guide is intended for personal use to supplement approved manuals and training programs and
is not be used as a substitute for any FAA, Boeing, Airline Operator or other Operators approved training program. The information
contained in the program is not to be used as a substitute for such manuals and training programs or is the information to be used for
any aircraft operation. Should any information contained in this program conflict with approved manuals or training programs the
approved sources shall be used as the definitive source of information.

COMMAND BAR
Panel Navigator returns you to the Panel Navigator from anywhere within
the program.
System Q and A takes you to the Main Question and Answer Menu.
My Notes allows you to take notes or read previously saved notes using a
simple built in word processor .
Go Online allows access to the Systems Quiz Main Menu, Updates, Revision
Status Check and Bulletins. An Internet connection is required.
Once the selected system panel is open for view each individual control, light or switch on the panel may
be selected. Most of the various switches, lights and controls will react in the same manner as the actual
aircraft panel. Selecting an individual component will then give a brief at a glance description of its
function in the information box to the left of the system panel. Panels are graphically rendered to be as
realistic and accurate as possible.
The TEST position on the DSPL SEL has been selected. The panel display shows what you would expect to see on the aircraft panel when moving the DSPL SEL knob to this position. The selected function
and an operational restriction is shown in the at a glance information box in this example.
The info button, when clicked, opens an expanded info box with a more in depth discussion of
the system or systems corresponding to the panel. Some minor system modules, such as the
Dome Light and similar systems do not require an expanded info box and the info button will be
inactive.
The question mark symbol, when clicked, opens the Question and Answer window for the associated panel. Questions will be appropriate to the information in the at a glance and expanded
info boxes. Again, minor systems may not have a Q and A section and the button will be inactive.

You may elect to take personal notes while reviewing a Module by opening the Take Notes feature. The
notes feature opens on top of the IIE without disturbing the underlying information. The File Menu is
used to save your notes using a Save As dialogue. Dont exit without saving your note. The feature does
not support the Are you sure dialogue and your note will be lost.
Take Notes supports cut and paste using the right click menu but not from information contained in the
IIE. The right click menu is disabled within the IIE. If you have notes from other text files and want to
organize them for a single source study guide you can use the cut and paste feature to save time.
Go Online causes the IIE to emulate a standard Web Browser and will open the B737 NG Systems
Review Online Menu. You may then choose to take one of the online knowledge exercises, check for
new revisions or view any pertinent bulletins or program announcements. To check your revision status,
select Revision Status from the online menu and then select Revision from the command bar. Compare
the Online Check Revision Status to the programs Revision Status window. The Revision Status window is updated when you download and install the latest revision. A detailed description of any major
program revision will be available in the Online Bulletins.
If the IIE Web Browser does not detect an online connection an error message appears and navigation
to the web page is cancelled. You can return to any other IIE page by selecting a menu item from the
command bar such as the Panel Navigator without ending the program.
General
The Question and Answers and Online Knowledge Exercises
Many of the questions in the Q and A modules are difficult questions. Dont worry if your answers are not
complete, entirely correct or you dont know the answer at all. The questions are designed to make you
think about the system and reason your way toward the correct answer. With repeated occasional study
and review, you will find that the answers will come to you, not from rote memorization but gradual insight and understanding of the various aircraft systems. This type of learning will stay with you throughout your career on the B737 NG and you will find that an occasional review will refresh your systems
knowledge very quickly.
Not just a fancy name for systems quiz, the Online Knowledge Exercises are designed as a learning
tool. Questions and multiple choice answers are carefully worded so that again, you can reason your
way to the correct answer through systems knowledge and not memorization. Many times, a multiple
choice test will have a most correct answer, one that is reasonably close and one or two that are clearly
wrong, if not totally negative or ridiculous. The knowledge exercises available online from B737 NG Systems Review strive to make each question and answer relevant and even if you are not correct on your
first choice, will lead you toward the correct answer. Dont think in terms of pass or fail while working the
exercises but more in terms of striving to get the correct answer as your first choice. If you dont choose
the correct answer as your first choice, you will have the opportunity to review the remaining answers
and pick again.
Traditional scoring is not used in these knowledge exercises rather a weighted scoring is used based
on how many questions were answered correctly on the first try. If you choose the correct answer on the
second or third try, credit for the question is reduced proportionately. An example of this would be :
Claudette is a brunette. What is Claudettes hair color ?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Brown
Brunette
Dark
Curly
Answers B and C are relevant to the question and therefore some credit might be given if you chose
Brunette which is Claudettes hair color but is not considered to be a color. Less credit might be awarded
for Dark, which also would describe Claudettes hair color. D is an example of an answer that is not relevant to the question but is only relevant to hair. This is the type of answer that is avoided whenever possible in the B737 NG Study Guide Online Knowledge exercises
If youre still stumped about Claudettes hair color, the correct answer is A.
For those of you who still want to know whether you have Passed or Failed, traditional scoring is indicated by the term Raw score.
An example from the APU Knowledge Exercise that promotes systems knowledge would be the question:
Which of these four lights will not cause an automatic shutdown of the APU ?
A. MAINT
B. LOW OIL PRESSURE
C. FAULT
D. OVERSPEED
The incorrect answers will reinforce your knowledge of which conditions will cause an automatic shutdown of the APU.
